Israel moves to further seal off Jerusalem from West Bank
Israeli officials approved plans for 2,612 homes on Givat HaMatos, a hill between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Critics say the move would so fragment Palestinian areas that drawing borders of a future state would be unworkable.
Jerusalem; and Bethlehem, West Bank
Israeli officials today approved plans for 2,612 new homes to be built on Givat HaMatos, or Airplane Hill, which is set to become the first new Jerusalem neighborhood to be built outside Israel's internationally recognized borders since 1996.Skip to next paragraph
In Pictures Israelis and Palestinians: A tense coexistence
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
The placement profoundly concerns Palestinians and advocates of a two-state solution. They say that it and other building projects under way would make drawing the borders of a future Palestinian state unworkable by fragmenting Palestinian areas, and thus could deal a devastating blow to the two-state solution.
"I believe that Givat HaMatos is a deal-breaker," says Daniel Seidemann, an Israeli attorney and founder of Terrestrial Jerusalem, which tracks developments that could jeopardize a two-state solution. "How many times can you cut a worm in half and the worm starts wiggling?"
Some 549 new homes in Givat HaMatos for Arab residents were also approved yesterday, but went largely unnoticed amid a series of Israeli moves to expand building in East Jerusalem and the highly controversial area of E1, which would create an Israeli bubble deep into the West Bank. Critics of Givat HaMatos have called it a mini-E1.
The US State Department yesterday used unusually strong language to criticize what it characterized as a "continuing pattern of provocative action" that jeopardizes a two-state solution.
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes issue with that criticism. "Jerusalem is our capital and we feel like it's not particularly controversial or provocative at all for us to build in it – we've been here for 3,000 years now," says Paul Hirschson, deputy spokesperson for the ministry. "It's not only a geographical area, it's an idea. It's our idea, and we put it on the map."
Driving a wedge
In the 1967 war with its Arab neighbors, Israel captured East Jerusalem and the Old City, and expanded the borders of the city to include strategic high ground. As a result, the size of the city more than tripled virtually overnight. Israel annexed the whole area, proclaiming a united Jerusalem as its eternal and undivided capital. But the international community never recognized that annexation beyond the pre-1967 border, also known as the Green Line due to the color of magic marker that was used to draw the map, and considers the expanded portions of the city to be occupied land.
While much of East Jerusalem remains predominantly Arab, the Jewish presence there has expanded to roughly 200,000. Jewish neighborhoods have been established in areas that drive a wedge between Arab areas of East Jerusalem and the West Bank, in what some say is a calculating political game akin to tick-tack-toe. The cumulative effect, say Palestinians and their supporters, is that it is becoming increasing impractical to establish a viable, contiguous Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem.
Under the Clinton Parameters, laid out by President Clinton in 2000 and widely accepted as the guidelines for drawing the borders of a future Palestinian state, Arab areas would be assigned to Palestine and Jewish areas would be assigned to Israel.

Saints Drop 74-61 Game to Lenoir-Rhyne in Loch Shop Classic
MORROW, Ga. – The North Georgia College & State University women's basketball team dropped their third game in a row Saturday afternoon, falling 74-61 to Lenoir-Rhyne University to open their time in the Loch Shop Classic hosted by Clayton State University.
North Georgia (1-4) went 25-78 (.321) from the field but a 49.2% (31-63) effort by Lenoir-Rhyne (4-1), including going 5-12 from three-point range, helped lift the Bears to the 13-point victory. The Saints only managed to shoot 21.7% (5-23) from beyond the three-point arc.
Jaymee Carnes led all scorers with 24 points and the junior just missed out on a double-double as she also corralled in nine rebounds. Carnes went 10-27 from the field and added two assists and one block.
Stephanie Huffman also just missed out on a double-double as she ended the contest with 11 points and eight rebounds, but went 4-12 from the field.
Jordan Hiatt led the way for the Bears with 12 points and eight rebounds while Brittany Christian added 11 points of her own. Each also set up four other scores.
The Saints held the lead for just 35 seconds early in the first half but were able to stay close to the Bears for the majority of the game including allowing just a one-point Lenoir-Rhyne lead heading into halftime after a pair of free throws by Huffman.
Lenoir-Rhyne opened the second half with a 7-2 run in the first five minutes before North Georgia was able to pull back within two off a pair of free throws by Carnes, but that was as close as the Saints could manage as Lenoir-Rhyne opened things back up from there to close out the win.
North Georgia will take on Chowan University tomorrow, Sunday, Dec. 2 at 1:30 p.m.

Peace and Conflict Studies
West Chester University
Dr. Dean Johnson, Coordinator
Anderson Hall, Room 332A
West Chester University
West Chester, PA 19383
"For someone never completely comfortable with facing conflict, I surprised myself by diving headfirst into the Peace and Conflict Studies minor. Its interdisciplinary, praxis-based nature truly speaks to its real world functionality outside classroom walls. P&C studies reframed how I view and handle conflict. I ended my minor experience through organizing and facilitating the American Friends Service Committee's Help Increase the Peace Program (HIP) on campus. HIP was a true culmination of lessons and skills learned (Active listening, negotiating, dialogue, social injustice…the list goes on!). Looking back, I believe P&C is the quintessential universal minor, for we all need to sit comfortably with and nonviolently approach conflict. I emerge from my studies empowered and confident in peaceful change in the world. Thank you to all the lovely faculty, staff and peers who helped me along the way!"
My favorite courses over the past four years have been my P&C classes. They clarified and enhanced my understanding of International Relations and the state of human affairs in general, and taught me how I can apply my education to the process of facilitating change in practical ways throughout the world. The program has been the most valuable part of my college experience, and . . . I have benefitted from it immensely. Thank you for an amazing experience, and I hope more students realize the value of your program.

Offensive lineman Malcolm Bunche will transfer from the University of Miami to UCLA for his final year of eligibility, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday.
Bunche started just once last season, at left guard, after making 12 starts at left tackle as a sophomore. Because he already has his college degree, he will be eligible to play for the Bruins this fall, and his father told the Miami Herald that UCLA will play him at tackle.
"Every single coach that contacted us lately said, 'Are you kidding me, this kid with his measurables (6-foot-7, 327 pounds) and his feet -- he's a tackle,'" Curtis Bunche told the Herald.
"I talked to Malcolm last night for quite a while and he was very impressed with his overall experience with the trip there to UCLA, the tour of the campus, his conversation with the head coach and offensive coordinator -- and even more so his offensive line coach (Adrian Klemm). He's had several years of NFL experience as an O-lineman and has (three) Super Bowl rings (with the New England Patriots)."
Bunche, a New Jersey product, served as a backup at guard and tackle through the 2013 season after starting the opener against Florida Atlantic.

Day one of our big trip has just passed and I've already managed to try a new fruit. I expected to eat a lot of my favourite fruit on this trip, but I didn't anticipate finding anything, besides breadfruit, that I haven't tried already.
We half walked, half bussed our way to the nearest town today. I made a b-line for a sidewalk fruit stand the second we got off the bus as I am on a mission to eat my weight in custard apples. The vendor didn't have any of those, but while perusing the table I spotted something I had never seen before. At first I thought it was a mango, but I had heard that mango season is over. Did you know there are lots and lots of varieties of mango that come in all colours and sizes? No bother to me since I'm allergic.
Good thing I made a double take and realized that the golden fruit on the table were not mangos.
"What are these?"
"Golden apple." Pointing to apples, "These are your apples." Pointing to the new fruit, "And these are our apples. They are also called June apple."
"Oh, I know them by that name. I tried one at home but it was green. Obviously not ripe. I didn't like it. What do they taste like ripe?"
For a dollar she sold us one golden apple (Spondias dulcis), and peeled it so we could eat it right away.
I'd say it tastes sweet and slightly sour, exactly like a cross between a mango and an orange, but less intensely flavoured. The texture was a bit crunchy and got a bit stringy nearer to the pit, a lot like a mango. Thankfully, unlike a mango, my lips did not swell on contact.
Later that day we returned to the same stand and bought another for the returning customer fee of 50 cents.

Vitamin D, Calcium May Prevent, Improve DiabetesPosted: Saturday, July 14, 2007
Combined supplementation with vitamin D and calcium may improve blood sugar and insulin levels and prevent diabetes by 64%, suggests a new meta-analysis and review.
Although the evidence to date suggests that vitamin D and calcium deficiency influences post-prandial glycemia and insulin response while supplementation may be beneficial in optimizing these processes, our understanding of the exact mechanisms by which vitamin D and calcium may promote beta cell function, or ameliorate insulin resistance and systemic inflammation is incomplete," wrote lead author Anastassios Pittas.
"It is also not clear whether the effects are additive or synergistic," he added.
Vitamin D refers to two biologically inactive precursors - D3, also known as cholecalciferol, and D2, also known as ergocalciferol. The former, produced in the skin on exposure to UVB radiation (290 to 320 nm), is said to be more bioactive. The latter is derived from plants and only enters the body via the diet, from consumption of foods such as oily fish, egg yolk and liver.
Both D3 and D2 precursors are hydroxylated in the liver and kidneys to form 25- hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), the non-active 'storage' form, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), the biologically active form that is tightly controlled by the body
Writing in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Pittas and co-workers reviewed data from observational studies and clinical trials in adults with results related to the control of glucose. The data from observational studies showed a "relatively consistent association" between low intakes of calcium, vitamin D, or dairy intake and type-2 diabetes, with highest levels associated with a 64 per cent lower prevalence of the disease, and a 29 per cent lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome among non-blacks.
When intake of calcium and vitamin D was combined, the inverse associations were still observed, with the highest versus lowest combined intake being associated with an 18 per cent lower incidence of diabetes.
"Evidence from trials with vitamin D and/or calcium supplementation suggests that combined vitamin D and calcium supplementation may have a role in the prevention of type-2 diabetes only in populations at high risk (i.e. glucose intolerance)," wrote the reviewers from Tufts-New England Medical Center.
They noted that research into this area remains limited and called for future research to focus on clarifying and quantifying the link between calcium intake and 25(OH)D levels and the incidence of type-2 diabetes.

Zippered Waxed Canvas Pouch (Olive)
Maker Craig Bertoldi is a former sail maker who has been sewing bags and materials for himself and his wife for 20 years. His creations were inspired out of the frustration of owning bags that constantly fell apart and would not hold up to travel and frequent use.
These bags have zippers and double-stitched edges with very heavy polyester thread. Aside from materials, each bag is measured the whole way through production with squares and calipers, to ensure measurements are consistent.
The canvas of the bag gets better with time, changing its patina as you use it, and developing a character as it gets crunched and banged around.
Use & Care
Use this bag for travel, to store office supplies and other small items, or as a waterproofing case for your wallet on a rainy bike ride.
By its nature, waxed canvas is water repellent. It was developed for the sailing industry to create waterproof fabric for nautical equipment.
The only advice from the manufacturer is not to throw it in a washing machine. Apply a damp cloth to anything spilled on it. If you stain it with a liquid, the stain should wick right off.
Production & Design
The story begins with a man who put himself through college by working for a sail loft, where he was first introduced to the beefy canvas materials used for sail boats and nautical wear, the same fabrics he now uses for his bags. Since working for the loft, he kept his interest in sewing and started making things as a stress reliever. He created packs and bags for himself and family, and when he posted his work on the internet he didn't think of it as a money generating project. But the heavy-duty bags took off, and he now spends considerable time working on their production.
Craig sources his materials locally and from within the U.S. whenever possible. His YKK zippers come out of New York. His canvas is sourced from Fairfield Textiles in New Jersey. He focuses on materials that are simple and basic that will withstand the test of time.

"The ad dollars spent around big events are increasing every year," says Pranikoff. "There is awareness and there is attention. Many of these events generate awareness for participating brands, but their ability to drive attention is not as well understood or capitalized on. Metrics have always been an important part of marketing success, and it is time we apply them to event marketing and sponsorships."

Emotional John Kerry slams 'corruption' of system - 50 Comments
Outgoing U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry was overcome with emotion yesterday as he delivered his farewell speech before the U.S. Senate — a body he said is being corrupted by campaign cash.
"I believe it is the honor of a lifetime, an extraordinary privilege to have represented the commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States Senate for more than 28 years," the next secretary of state told his Senate colleagues in a 50-minute address.

Okay, So I'm new to this but I'm 18 weeks today and I know 4 other people who are just about as far along as me. However, non of them are showing like this. I've had the doctor check and double check and there is only one baby in there! Is this normal? ( and when I say huge I mean I look like I'm about 7 months.
I'm really glad to hear that you have seen your doctor and been checked by him/her. How are you feeling? I would say that if you have a funny feeling in your gut (intuition) that there is something off then go back to the doctor. If you don't, the doctor says your fine, and you feel ok then just watch your weight and other ways your body is changing carefully and go in if you are concerned.
Congrats on your pregnancy! Keep us in the loop on how things are going,
Don't worry...I carried big too and it is just how your body is. Just make sure you are eating healthy and doing what you can to ensure a healthy baby...when your baby arrives it will all be worth it! Don't compare yourself to others...or you will be one unhappy momma! Enjoy your pregnancy and all that it is!
Are you, by any chance, short? Sometimes people who are short or more petite will REALLY show their baby and just carry on the big side. Every body is different and everyone carries their pregnancies differently. MommyRN4 is right - just enjoy your pregnancy and don't worry too much about how you look compared to everyone else. You are carrying this baby in your own unique and perfect way! :-)
no worries Jess i am huge too when i was 3 mths i looked like i was 6 ...:) it was my turn in my family for twins so you know what was going through my head .... but ultra sound showed a baby girl and noother lil monsters sharing her space :) ... so just keep eating healthy and taking care of that baby ... alot has to do with your size prior to pregnancy too i believe :)!!!
If your Doc says you are Ok, then I agree with the other posts... embrace your baby bump and continue to monitor your progress.

Ok, so I figured I would try my hand at this whole log thing. Though I have a Tamagotchi P which is already on the second generation and I don't feel like restarting it. So I'll give a little bit of a back-story.
I hatched this as part of the Valentine's Hatch (http://www.tamatalk....chi +generation), so on February 14th, 2013 I had a baby girl! Then, after an hour, my baby girl (Pinkubotchi) grew into a Puchihanatchi (the toddler which looks like a flower pot). I had her play with the toy that looks like a director's scene cut thingy to give her the charisma trait, and a day after that, I had a Neotchi:
I had her play with the computer to have the smart trait, and then I got a Chokomakatchi when she grew into an adult.
She visited Yumekyantchi at the park 3 times, and then she got to keep her as a pet.
She dated a Charatchi 3 times at the park, and then they married and had a baby boy. That baby boy is a toddler now, and he is a Mitsumarutchi.
Aaaand that is the story of my first Tamagotchi P; super kawaii. Anyways, stay tuned for more! Don't be afraid to PM with questions about what you read here. :-)

TUPPER LAKE - The planning board will hold hearings Thursday on the first phase of the Adirondack Club and Resort, as well as a small brewery and a subdivision.
The first phase of the resort planned for the Big Tupper Ski Area and the land around it includes the development of all the project's large "great camp" lots and some of the small ones. A total of 22 lots will be included, with one lot dedicated to a road, three open space lots and 18 single-family residences. It will involve 3,625 acres of the 6,235 total in the project site.
ACR attorney Bob Sweeney told planning board members at their November meeting that it might be possible to skip holding such a hearing if they found the first part of the project to be consistent enough with the preliminary approval they gave the project in November 2010. But town Planner Paul O'Leary told the Enterprise Monday that planning board Attorney Kirk Gagnier advised board members to hold one.
Also up for a hearing Thursday is Mark Jessie and Joe Hockey's plan to open a nanobrewery, Raquette River Brewing, on Balsam Avenue. They plan to brew a maximum of 185 barrels a year as they start out, and they hope to brew four regular beers plus seasonal brews.
There will also be a hearing on Rob Gillis' plan to subdivide property he owns off of Byram Road.
The hearings begin at 7 p.m. Thursday and will be held in the lower level of the town hall at 120 Demars Blvd.

Fact Box
The Adirondack Club and Resort, proposed by a Pennsylvania-based investment group called Preserve Associates, would overhaul the Big Tupper Ski Area in Tupper Lake and build out the land around it with about 700 luxury housing units and various amenities including a spa, a marina and an equestrian center. The project received permits from the state Adirondack Park Agency on Jan. 20 after eight years of negotiating, reworking the application and an extensive adjudicatory hearing.
In March, two environmental groups and three nearby landowners filed a lawsuit to challenge the APA's decision. That suit is working its way through state courts.
In addition, the project must also obtain a number of other approvals, including from the state departments of Environmental Conservation and Health, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the local town-village planning board.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
Office of the Majority Leader
Washington, D. C. 20510
December 7, 1967
Mr. William H. Tucker
Interstate Commerce Commission
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Tucker:
Now that the Northern Pacific Railroad has given formal
notice to the Interstate Commerce Commission that it intends
to discontinue operation of its passenger trains Nos. 1 and 2
between Fargo, North Dakota, and Seattle-Tacoma, Washington,
we wish to again express our opposition. We recommend that
the railroad be ordered to continue this passenger train service
which is so important to many small communities in the Northwest.
This action is yet another indication of the transcontinental
railroad's efforts to retreat and withdraw from its
obligation to the general public. We recognize that there are
certain laws which limit Commission action in regard to passenger
train discontinuances. We do, however, feel that the situation
in Montana merits detailed consideration. We, therefore, ask
that you institute the necessary orders for an investigation
into this action, scheduling appropriate field hearings in
Montana and the other states affected.
Please keep us informed of all developments in this case,
and with best personal wishes we are
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Mike Mansfield, U.S.S.
/s/ Lee Metcalf, U.S.S.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 43, Folder 101, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
Mr. METCALF. Mr. President, about
an hour and a half ago some of us from
the Northwest were served with a news
release from the Interstate Commerce
Commission, announcing that the Interstate
Commerce Commission had authorized
the merger of the "Northern
lines" railroads. My distinguished colleagues.
the majority leader, and I were
amazed at this reversal of the decision
that the Commission had arrived at previously,
and we were rather surprised
that this decision had been made.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent
that the news release be printed in
the RECORD at thiS point.
There being no objection. the news
release was ordered to be printed in the
R:!:CORD, as follows :
The Interstate Commerce Commlsslon announced
today that lt has approved the
"Northern I.Jnes" railroad merger. Because o!
widespread interest ln the transaction, the
Commlsslon announced lts decision several
days prlor to service of 1 ts report.
The Northern Llnes are the Great Northern
Rallway, the Northern Pacific Rallway, the
Chicago, Burllngton and Quincy Rallroad,
the Pacific Coast Rallroad Company, and the
Spokane, Portland and Seattle Hallway Company.
They wlll be brought together ln a
new company called Great Northern Pacific
and Burllngton Lines, Inc. A rall network
will be created of 11lmost 27,000 mlles or
track extending from the Great Lakes and
the Mlsslsslppl Rlver through the northern
tleJ; of Western states to the Pacific Northwest
and Callfornla, and by affillatlon reaching
the Gulf ot Mexico.
In approving thls merger, the Commlsslon
pointed out that tbls proposal was but a
part of the larger picture of proposed rallroad
mergers in Western states, and that
picture was stlll evolv1ng. Therefore, the
Commlsslon Imposed a broad reservation of
Jurlsdlctlon to Impose condltlons whlch may
be necessitated by cumulative or crOBSover
problems, stemming from approval of thls
merger alone, or in combtnat.lon with other
merger transactions whlch later may be llUthorized
ln the territory involved. The door
Ia also belng left open for rallroads ln the
territory to seek lncluslon ln the Northern
The Commlsslon 's action reverses a prlor
decision denying the applications. FollowIng
that denial, In Aprll 1966, the railroad
appllcants reached job-protective agreements
with employees and concluded traffic agreements
with the principal protestant rallroads,
the Chicago, Mllwaukee, St. Paul &
PacUic Rallroad Company and the Chicago
an~ North Western Hallway Company. Subsequent
to appllcants' petitions for reconalderatlon,
the Commission reopened the
proceeding to reevaluate the entire record .
Approval ot the merger Is predicated on a
number of conditions, Including attrition
p rovisions for employees. In the view ot the
Oommlsslon, "the protection thereby atforded,
providing a.s lt does Job security as
well a.s monetary benefits, could hardly have
been achieved except for the merger."
The Commission's approval ot the transactions
Ia also subject to conditions for the
protection ot other railroads In the territory
Involved. All conditions sought by the Mllwaukee
and North Western were Imposed.
The effect ot these conditions wlll be to
strengthen the Mllwaukee and the North
Western, both as to revenue potential and
competitive posture. The Milwaukee, among
other benefits, will be given access to Blll-lngs,
Mont., Portland, Oreg .. and Canada.
It wlll, the Commission found, become a
"vlnble transcontlncntal rall competitor."
The Improved financial posture which will
result from the merger, the Commission
found, w111 enable the Northern llnes to
become stronger and more stable, and thus
better equipped to meet the growing competition
now being felt . Moreover, consolldntlon
of facllitles. ellmlnatlon of wasteful
dupllcatlon, improved routing, better cnr
utilization, and avoidance of ttme-consumlng
lntcrchnngcs among appllcants wlll result
tn a more efficient railroad .
It was also founct that shippers will benefit
from . among other things, faster and
more depenrlnble slngle-llne service. This,
coupled with the broad choice of new gateways,
ls extremely Important ln vlew or the
long distances involved and the nature of
the products of the Northwest.
Related nppllcatlons seeking authority to
issue securities and assume certain financial
obltgatlons, and to effect a number of minor
extensions and abandonments of rallroad
lines, were also granted.
The Commission concluded that the merger,
o.s conditioned ln the report, presents an
entirely new perspective ln the efficient and
economical movement of transcontlnental,
Western and Pacific Coo.st traffic.
Copies or the Commiss ion's decision and
order wlll be avo.llable at the Commlsslon's
offices ln Washington, DC., a.s soon as the
printing process Is completed.
Mr. METCALF. Mr. President, the
merger of the Great Northern Railway,
the Northern Pacific Railway, the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad, the
Pacific Coast Railroad Co., and the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle Railway Co. Is a
merger of the major railroads in the entire
The Great Northern Railway and the
Northern Pacific Railway are two of the
most prosperous railroads In America.
Between them they own the complete
stock of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, which Is also one of the most
prosperous railroads in America.
Mr. President, this decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to authorize
the merger Is prefaced by an announcement
that the Commission annourced
its decision prior to service of
the report. Its report is not available to
us at this time.
However, the Commission said in the
news release that In approving this
merger the Commission pointed out that
"thJs proposal was but a part of the
larger picture of proposed railroad
mergers In Western States and that picture
was still evolving."
Mr. President, while we In Montana,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho, Washington,
Oregon, and even down to New
Mexico are concerned with this merger,
I say to Senators from Western States,
"Stick around for a while because the
Commission has said they are going to
have other mergers and that the picture
is still evolving."
Mr. President, there were many selfserving
declarations In the statement. It
Is stated in the news release:
The Improved financial posture which wlll
result from the merger, the commission
found, w111 enable the northern llnes to become
stronger and more stable.
Mr. President, I am sure they will be
stronger but the kind of service will have
to be about half the service we have enjoyed
so fa1· in the Northwest.
It is also stated in the news release:
It ls also found that shippers wlll benefit
from, among other things, fast~r and more
dependable slngle-llne service.
How taking off half of the trains in the
Northwest will improve the status of the
shippers Is tru)re than I can understand.
Mr. President, I hope that the distinguished
Senator from Washington [Mr.
MAGNUSON], who Is concerned in this
matter, as the chairman of the Committee
on Commerce, will Institute an immediate
investigation. I hope he will look
into why this merger was authorized at
this time, after a reversal of the previous
action of the committee, and why this
merger which, in spite of the news release,
is going to be so detrimental to
the Interests of the Northwest was allowed
between two of the most profitable
railroad operations In the United States.
The Northern Pacific Railway is a
land-grant railroad. It has thousands
and thousands of acres of oil on its lands
that were given to It in order that it
would serve certain areas in Montana,
Minnesota, and Idaho. It has thousands
of acres of timber land, probably more
valuable today than the right-of-way of
the railroad. For a while the Northern
Pacific Railway was earning more from
oil land than from its railroad operations.
Mr. President. this is a callous disregard
of public interest to permit these
railroads to curtail the public service
they should provide for the entire Northwest.
I urge the chairman of the Committee
on Commerce to immediately institute
an Investigation and as soon as the report
Is available, to find out just what is
behind this reversal of a prlor decision
of the Commission.

5:39 PM EST, February 11, 2013
Sometimes, Richard "Rico" White says, parents get so strung out and desperate that they push their kids to join gangs to guarantee a supply of drugs. The kids go along, White says, but most don't want any part of the gang life.
That's where he comes in.
He'll catch wind of a boy or a girl in trouble — someone who joined a gang but now wants out — and he'll negotiate deals with a gang leader allowing them to leave. White, who is 44, developed a talent for this several years ago.
He's the new operator of the Hollywood Diner in downtown Baltimore. I went there the other day to meet White and sample his grits. When I asked about his past, he mentioned his training in food services, working for a kosher caterer and running a carryout in Park Heights, where he grew up.
Then he mentioned his ministry — helping young people in trouble.
Turns out, he's done a lot of that over the last two decades, and in the most daunting circumstances.
By now, White estimates, dozens of young people — teenagers mostly, and mostly boys — have been released from gangs in Baltimore with his help. He's also taken his ministry to Carroll and Harford counties, the latter following the fatal shooting in 2004 of a 37-year-old cabdriver (and the father of nine children) by a member of a gang that had settled into the Edgewood area.
White has done this, without bragging and with only limited recognition — from a Harford County church in 2005 and the Greater Baltimore Urban League in 2003 — for his work with kids.
Officer Melvin Hill, who works in the Northern District, says White is "widely respected" for his work with kids. He's one of the rare individuals, Hill says, who has street credibility because he "grew up and crossed over." That makes him OG — "original gangsta" — experienced in street life and able to talk sense to younger men.
White has a new definition of OG: "only God," as in, "Only God saved me. I am alive to save lives. ...
"My ghetto past is valid. That means I get some respect for my past. I know how I was when I was in the streets, when I was dealing drugs.
"The young men and young women who get involved with gangs, they don't really want to do that, most of them. They're lonely; they don't have a family. They're afraid. Some join for their own protection from the gang itself. ... And some of them grew up with parents who pushed them to join."
As he tells it, it was his father's death in 1994 that turned White from selling drugs toward saving kids.
His father, who struggled with alcoholism, slipped out of sobriety one night and ended up the victim of a carjacking and fatal shooting. "I didn't want to end up like my dad," White says. "Up and down, up and down. Doing good, then doing bad."
He chose good and he chose God. He was ordained a Christian minister through Destiny International Ministries. He worked in food services, and he's been a caterer for a decade. He briefly operated Thomasino's — that's his middle name — a pizza shop in Park Heights. Last year he struck a deal with the city to take over the Hollywood Diner, famously the principal set for Barry Levinson's 1982 film "Diner."
While the diner consumes most of his time now, White is not far removed from the gang intervention work.
Last October, he says, he helped a boy out of a desperate situation.
"I literally had to go where this young man was," he says. "They were about to shoot him, and the other people who were in his house who were gang-affiliated. I had to broker a deal just for them to get out of the house. ... That's one of the things I feel good about."
Often, White says, the kids who want out are the gangs' weakest links — the ones who might break under pressure — and that's the convincing message he carries to the leadership.
White says he only helps kids who agree to stay out of gangs and go back to school. Not all succeed — a young man White got out of a gang went back to slinging drugs. "I'm sorry to say he's not living anymore."
The hope now, he says, is to intervene in the lives of young people in a different way — in the kitchen at the diner on Saratoga Street.
He's providing on-the-job food-service training for a handful of young people referred to him from nonprofits dedicated to helping at-risk kids get on a good path. White intends to pour half the profits from the Hollywood Diner back into the training program. He rolled out his new menu Monday, and the grits are just fine.

"I have lived on the edge of Hatfield Moor virtually all of my life. Childhood and teenage memories are of a wonderful wilderness, a haven for unique and enigmatic biodiversity. Now the devastation is heartbreaking. The last decade has seen a US multinational plunder a UK national treasure so that they can make massive short-term profits. In places, their massive plant machinery is punching through the bottom peat layer and exposing the underlying sands and gravel. They are destroying the very sensitive hydrological integrity of the bog - rather like turning a plastic bowl into a colander." Helen Kirk, Thorne and Hatfield Moors Conservation Forum.
Despite their less-than-glamorous image, the UK's lowland raised peatbogs are one of the country's most important wildlife habitats and are of national and international conservation interest.
The bogs form a unique and fascinating home for many rare species, including birds (the nightjar, woodlark, curlew, merlin, peregrines, hen and marsh harriers and long-eared owl), plants (the "carnivorous" round leaved sundew, butterwort, bladderwort, bog rosemary and many species of sphagnum mosses, which carpet the suface of the bogs in brilliant green, ochre yellow and rusty red), and thousands of rare insect species including the bog hog and the Hairy Canary fly.
Sadly, these treasures are fast disappearing. A 1996 study showed that of an original 69,700 hectares of peatbogs, only 5.5 percent, or 3,836 hectares could still be described as in a "near natural" state.
Some of the worst industrial scale peat extraction currently taking place in the UK is being carried out by a US-based multinational, The Scott's Company. Scott's, the world's largest garden products company and a huge provider of compost, stepped up extraction in anticipation of new UK government regulations that will give several important and threatened peatbogs protected status.
Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland is pushing for a speedy implementation of protected status for the country's peatbogs before they are dug up and sold in plastic bags.

Valpo Wins Big in Home Opener As Grafs Scores 25
Tuesday, November 26, 2002Valparaiso, Ind. - Valpo opened with a 10-0 run on its way to an 81-56 victory over Indiana State. Raitis Grafs led all scorers with 25 points, including 20 in the first half. Joaquim Gomes added 14 points, while Ali Berdiel scored 12 points.
Indiana State guard Matt Broermann scored a team-high 18 points, draining 6 of 12 shots from behind the arc.
After exploding to a 14-1 lead early in the first half, Valpo never looked back. Broerman tried to make things close for Indiana State, helping the Sycamores pull within seven points with six minutes to go in the first half.
It was then that Valpo again turned up the heat on Indiana State, pulling away to a 38-24 lead at the half after shooting a terrific 51.5 percent from the field.
At the start of the second half, Valpo quickly found themselves up by 20 points with 17 minutes left to play.
While Indiana State was able to limit Grafs to five points in the second half, Valpo was able to shutdown Broermann, who was able to make only one more three-pointer.
With four minutes to play in the game, Gomes put the finishing touches on Valpo's victory after receiving a perfect pass from Seth Colclasure, which led to an awesome two-handed slam. The basket increased Valpo's lead to 26 points, ending Indiana State's hopes of a comeback.
Valpo finished the game shooting 48.4 percent from the field, including 41.2 percent from beyond the arc (50 percent on four of eight shooting in the second half). Valpo played unselfish basketball with 24 assists on 31 made field goals. Greg Tonagel and Colclasure led the Crusaders with five assists each, while Berdiel made three of Valpo's 10 steals. The Crusaders owned the boards, outrebounding ISU 42-32. Grafs and Dan Oppland topped Valpo with seven rebounds each.
Valpo improved its season record to 1-1, while Indiana State fell to 1-1. Valpo's next game is Saturday at 7:05 p.m. in the ARC against Northern Illinois.

Coquimbo nestled in Northern Chile, means "place of calm water", a happy accident of geography that encouraged its development as an important port. According to legend, the English corsair Sir Francis Drake has buried a considerable treasure in the city. In the early 19th century, Coquimbo was just a small fishing village, but when the railway reached the area joining the copper mines to the sea, the town and population increased dramatically. Today, Coquimbo offers the pleasures of a picturesque seaside promenade, the beautifully restored 19th-century architecture of the English Neighborhood and several fine beaches.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
We depart from the pier and drive south on the Pan-American Highway, along the coast and past beautiful
beaches such as La Herradura, Las Tacas, and Guanaqueros. As we leave the coast behind, we will
observe the permanent thick fog known as camanchaca, or coastal clouds, above the hillside, a phenomenon that produces moisture in this area. Then,
going inland to the east, we will see crops of "pepino", here called sweet cucumber - and the raising of cattle.
We proceed along the 'Road of Grapes and Vineyards,' on our way through a fertile land area and its wide variety of crops.
We will then arrive at Tabali Vineyard, which is surrounded by gentle rocky slopes in a semi-arid valley of the pre-Andean range that
stretches from the mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It is located just south of Atacama Desert and only 400 kilometers north of Santiago.
First, explore the various varieties of grapes grown in the region and learn about the whole process of making Chilean wine. Next, visit the
cellars, followed by wine tasting and a cocktail before returning to the pier in Coquimbo.
Please note: The scenic drive to the winery is approximately 11/2 hours.

Sustainable Soils Management Course with Paul Taylor, at the PRI Australias Zaytuna Farm, NSW, Australia
Starts Jun 17, 2013 and runs for 5 day(s).
Note: This course is not organised and run by The Permaculture Research Institute. It is facilitated by another organisaton and meets the high teaching standards required by the Permaculture Institue.
Participants will have an on ground and classroom understanding of beneficial soil biology that can radically reduce costs while increasing soil fertility and potential productivity.
In this workshop, we redefine sustainable agriculture as 'the ability to improve production while we reduce cost and improve soil fertility'. Learn a 3-part system as the path forward to improving your productive soils.
This course is a specialist course and is part of the 10-week Internship Program, but can be attended as a separate course.
Paul Taylor was raised on an organic farm and has been working with sustainable soil management for more than 30 years. Paul demystifies the complex sciences of soil microbiology and plant nutrition to bring you a cutting edge system of sustainable soil management.
1. Specialist composting made easy: Trust Nature's Bio-vital system
2. Making soil pro-biotic - soil microbiology made simple
3. Making cost effective Bio-Fertilisers: COAS principles from Eugenio Gras and much more.
1-2-3- Grow!
Learn how to combine these 3 cost effective methodologies, to reduce costs and achieve sustainable soil management.
In this 5-day course we take the mystery out of soil microbiology, plant nutrition and 'organics' and learn how to combine methods to improve soil fertility, reduce input costs and improve production. These management principles apply to the backyard garden as well as the broad acre farm.
Sustainable Soil Management means that we depend on natural processes to improve production while we build soil fertility and reduce cost. We believe that the principles of sustainable soil management is the path forward for giving agriculture the tools needed to rebuild degraded soils.
What is soil? Soil is that living stuff that gives us our daily bread; soil is alive and productive and has a remarkable complexity. As humanity expands the need for vital soils becomes an ever-important focus of sustainability and food sovereignty, vital soils grow vital foods that grow vital communities.
We have the science, knowledge and experience to change how we manage the land, how we responsibly manage waste as a resource and how we build soil fertility while we improve production; this course redefines how we look at soil management.
In this workshop we redefine 'sustainable agriculture' and learn the tools we need for soil regeneration so that we can be responsible for our vital food and achieve on-farm profitability. The science of soil, soil organisms and plant nutrition is a complex one; here Paul demystifies these sciences and offers real, practical soil-utions to our growing issues.
Specialist composting made easy: The Bio-vital approach
We learn how to turn common waste products into high value compost with 'specialist composting made easy'. We teach how to best use specialist compost to improve soil fertility as 'easy to understand, realistic to apply' systems. Here we learn how to make and manage high quality compost for fun and profit.
One of the primary benefits of quality compost that it is rich in microorganisms. We need soil microorganisms in high diversity to restore the soil food web where natural processes reduce input costs and support nutrient cycling.
Specialist compost (Bio-Vital) has all the benefits of good compost, rich in organic matter, rich in plant nutrients but has the additional benefit of having soil microorganisms in high diversity, to act as a powerful as a soil inoculant. It is the organisms in high diversity that give us the range of benefits needed to achieve sustainable agriculture and sequester soil carbon.
Soil Pro-biotic: a simple to manage, easy to under system for building soil fertility.
During this workshop we have the hands on experience of growing soil microorganisms as soil pro-biotic and look at the dynamic results under a microscope.
'Compost tea' is commonly misunderstood and mismanaged, Trust Nature's Bio-Vital system has chosen to rename specialist 'compost tea' as 'soil pro-biotic' as this makes the point of difference between the understanding and misunderstanding of the value and management of soil organisms. Just as we might use a spoonful of yogurt to inoculate a litre of milk, we use specialist compost as the source of soil microbes and as the inoculant for making soil pro-biotic.
When we don't have enough high quality compost we can still grow the organisms we need to support our productive systems and build our soil fertility. We learn how to grow soil microorganisms as soil pro-biotic, as an easy to understand system. Paul teaches simple processes for growing 'hundreds of thousands' of microorganisms into 'thousands of millions' to spray out on our productive crops.
Soil microorganisms play an essential role in building soil fertility and protecting productive plants, learn how to manage soil microorganisms, build the soil food web and establish nutrient cycling as a management cornerstone for sustainable agriculture. We take the mystery out of soil microbiology and take advantage of natural processes; soil organisms work 24 hours a day 7 days a week to improve your soils and support production. Learn the how, when and why of soil microbiology made simple.
Bio-Fertilisers: Making your own fertilisers for pennies a litre.
We all need to be able to amend our productive systems with good fertilisers, the cost of good organic fertilisers is increasing annually, here we learn how to make powerful organic fertiliser for pennies a litre so that we can reduce input costs while we improve production and profitability.
During this workshop we have the hands on experience of making powerful bio-fertilisers from commonly available materials, we learn how to make our own organic fertilisers for a fraction of the cost of what we pay at the shop. Bio-fertilisers help to maintain production while we reduce costs, an all-important feature of sustainable management; we consider this essential knowledge for the backyard, for the broad acre and for food sovereignty.

In this April 28, 2012 file photo, comedian Louis C.K. from the FX comedy "Louie" appears onstage at The 2012 Comedy Awards in New York. Louis performed at the Merrill Auditorium in Portland on Wednesday.
By STEVE FEENEY
Following a long election night, Mainers needed a good laugh and, as luck would have it, here came one of today's top comedians to make it happen.
Fresh from hosting "Saturday Night Live," Louis C.K. came to Portland on Wednesday night to perform for a capacity audience at Merrill Auditorium. The red-haired comic said he had played Portland before, but at much smaller venues.
A good deal of C.K.'s humor these days is within a sort of high-road/low-road context. He referred to the rational and reptilian sides of the human mind and how our morals can sometimes be quite "malleable," depending on the situation.
A highlight of his 80-minute set was a hilarious bit based on a way of thinking that he called "of course. ... but maybe," which brought out some politically incorrect attitudes that are usually kept only as private thoughts.
Perhaps best known for his semi-autobiographical sitcom called "Louis," the comic is taking a little time off from that show. He noted that his success has allowed him to move into a fancy New York condo. Now, he fantasizes about confrontations with neighbors who are really quite nice.
He sees an elderly woman walking an old dog that he describes as "misery on a rope" but hopes that it outlives its owner, who would be devastated by the loss.
He sees marriage as the necessary suffering that leads to the much better state of being divorced. No one ever complains that their divorce is breaking up, he noted.
The dark thoughts that sometimes come over stressed-out parents lead him to elaborate fantasies of getting even.
But, in the end, the burly 45-year-old comic assures us that "it gets better," particularly if you recognize that your target weight should be as heavy as you get from eating whatever you want.
Of course, getting out of a chair at his age can be like trying to get a "Chevy out of a snowbank."
C.K. (real last name Szekely) has cited the late George Carlin as being among his early influences. He certainly favors Carlin's interest in breaking down taboos built up around language and private behaviors (many of C.K.'s lines cannot even be paraphrased in a family newspaper).
Perhaps because of a more self-deprecating style, C.K.'s edge seems a lot less cutting and squirm-inducing, though, than many other comics who test the limits of propriety.
Comic Gary Gulman, from Boston, opened the evening with a brief set. He made the only political reference of the night when he said he was not better off than four years ago but it was entirely his own fault.
He also amusingly revealed the condescension implied in most containers of French yogurt.
It was a fun night at Merrill.

Mighty Mini. Most cordless impact wrenches have 1/2-inch anvils for large sockets and deliver bolt-snapping torque that can overwhelm smaller tasks. Milwaukee's pocket-sized 2451-22 is a subcompact version with a 3/8-inch drive for light-duty assembly and fastening jobs. Part of Milwaukee's M12 12-volt lithium-ion line, it generates up to 1,000 inch-pounds of torque yet weighs only 2.3 pounds, says the manufacturer. Other features include a battery fuel gauge and an LED headlight. It's sold in a case with two batteries and a charger for $189. Milwaukee, 800/729-3878. www.milwaukeetool.com
